Great find! So THOSE were the good ol' days.
Funny, that's not long after the death of Alfred Nobel. In the later years of his life, he was prescribed nitroglycerin for the treatment of his angina. He'd gone from getting rich off of stabilizing nitroglycerin (AKA as dynamite) to taking it internally (though in very small doses). The guy in the newspaper article surely had so much that he experienced profound vasodilation (resulting in his freezing to death).
